Alamo Tube to open Texas-based OCTG pipe mill.

Alamo Tube Company plans to build the country's first, tubing specific OCTG pipe mill and finishing facility south of San Antonio to service growing U.S. oilfield tubing demand. The mill will be located in Alamo Junction Rail Park, a 400 acre development situated in Elmendorf. The location allows the interchange with both the Union Pacific (UP) and Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroads and allows the company to utilize competitive rail rates on both inbound and outbound shipments.
